Near Death Experiences

Near Death Experiences (NDEs) are reported by individuals who have been pronounced clinically dead or very close to death. These compelling first hand reports about what happens to a person’s consciousness after the body stops functioning often contain deep spiritual wisdom and insight. While there is an array of different descriptions of Near Death Experiences, there are commonalities in the majority of reports which can be profoundly educational on a spiritual level and very comforting on a human level.

A near-death experience is a phenomenon in which a person’s physical body ceases to have any signs of life, and the soul detaches from the body and begins what could be called the journey into the afterlife…. A long tunnel of light begins to appear. … What’s so phenomenal is that the descriptions [people] give, no matter what culture, no matter what background, match the ancient descriptions … from various cultures. So if these experiences were in fact made up or hallucinatory, somebody did a very good job of getting that information out to multiple cultures at the same time.
